The Best ESL/EFL Blogs
This “The Best…” list is going to be an expanding one.
These are the ESL/EFL blogs that I subscribe to now, but I’m sure there are many more out there that I just don’t know about…
I hope you’ll contribute their url addresses in the comments section! The criteria I used included that they are updated regularly (more-or-less), their focus is ESL/EFL, and that they provide information that I’ve found useful in my teaching.
Here are my picks for The Best ESL/EFL Blogs (not in any order):
Adult Education and Technology
Nik’s Daily English Activities
Nik’s Quick Shout Technology News
Movie Segments to Assess Grammar Goals
I’ve written a lot about how I use online video games with my English Language Learner students. I was originally inspired along this line by Graham Stanley and Kyle Mawer. They’ve just begun a blog on this topic called Digital Play.
Who else should be on this list? Please keep in mind the criteria I’ve used — they’re updated more-or-less regularly, their focus is on ESL/EFL, and that they’ve provided information that has been useful in your teaching.
If you found this post useful, you might want to look at previous “The Best…” lists and also consider subscribing to this blog for free.

Dear Larry,
Thanks for adding my blog to the list. It has not been easy for the last months to keep updating the blog, but now it seems that things have been back to normal after organizing my life back in Brazil, and blogging is again flowing more smoothly about a topic that I´m passionate about, Ed Tech for EFL.
